Crafting Guide – Jewelry

Engraving allows you to create jewelry (rings and necklaces) from dust you gather in the world. You can gather items without learning a separate gathering skill. Jewelry crafting is only available to those who have purchased the Summerset expansion, but you can collect materials from Seams located throughout Tamriel. Seams are located in the same areas as Blacksmithing nodes, rocky outcroppings, cliff faces, and other stony areas. This guide is based on the official crafting guide since I don’t have access to Summerset.

Like traditional Crafting Skill Lines, there are passive skills you can unlock with Skill Points as you improve your Jewelry Crafting level. The unlock levels and number of points are assumed based on the other Crafting Skill Lines until I have access to Summerset to test them.

NOTE: The Lapidary Research skill does not grant the ability to research more than one Trait simultaneously, ie. you cannot research a Trait on a necklace and ring at the same time.

Within Cities/Towns

Jewelry crafting stations are co-located with all existing crafting stations located throughout Tamriel. You can find crafting stations in each of the large towns and cities, marked by a flag. There are also vendors located near each station that sell items needed for crafting.

Hidden

You can also craft jewelry at all hidden crafting station locations. Hidden crafting stations are scattered throughout the world and are the only stations where you can apply set bonuses to items. The set bonuses vary from station to station and require you to have learned from 2-9 traits before you can craft an item with the bonus. There are 15 crafting stations per faction, but each faction shares the same bonuses. Other stations are located within faction-neutral zones.

Engraving requires Ounces to make items. To create Ounces, you need to refine Dust you gather in the world. To do so, use the Engraving Refine Menu and add Dust (10 pieces at a time), then hit Refine. NOTE: Unlike the other professions, you must refine the trait stones and improvement materials as well.

Creating items is a multi-step process. You can use materials located in your bag or bank to create items.

Item

First, pick the item you want to create. You do not need to learn how to create any patterns.

Item

Number of Materials

Necklace

3-16

Ring

3-16

Material

Second, choose the material you want to use to create the items. You must have refined Ounces in your bag or bank to be able to create the item. You must also put points into the Engraving skill tree to be able to craft items beyond the first tier (Pewter).

There are several levels of items per material tier, eg, in the Pewter tier. Your character must be at or above the item level to craft and wear the item. Each level within a tier requires additional Ounces to create an item. Also, each tier starts out requiring more Ounces than the previous tier.

NOTE: To create a higher level item within a single material tier, click on the + sign next to the number or materials required to create the item.

Trait

Last, choose the trait you want the item to have (optional). To apply the trait to an item, you will need one of the following stones that is consumed upon use. NOTE: Unlike the other professions, you will need to refine Pulverized Trait Stones into Trait Stones you can use to craft with.

One of the nice things about crafting in ESO is that you can take items you’ve earned and deconstruct them for materials. You can also deconstruct items you’ve crafted so that you can apply a new style-stone, but be aware that deconstructing does not yield the same amount of materials it takes to create the item in the first place. Also, deconstructing items you’ve found or that others have created yields more experience than deconstructing items you’ve created. BE CAREFUL! Items in your bank are also available to deconstruct from the crafting station.

NOTE: You cannot deconstruct jewelry items obtained prior to Summerset. These will have a warning on the tooltip.

All crafted items start out a the Normal (White) level. You can improve these items by applying Platings, but doing so only gives you a chance to improve the item. Adding additional Platings gives you a better chance, but each level requires more to do so. Putting points into Platings Expertise improves your chances. Unlike the other professions, you must refine Grains you receive from refining Dust into Platings.

Research allows you to learn a trait that you can place on other items. To do so, you must locate an item that already has the trait. Researching takes several hours, destroys the item, and only applies to the type of item (eg. ring) the trait came from originally. If you want the trait on another type of item, you will need to start the process over.

You can only research one item per crafting profession at a time. The first time you research a trait on a particular item (eg, necklace) it will take 6 hours. This doubles for every subsequent trait you research on that same type of item. The timer starts over for the next type of item (eg. ring) you research.

Trait

Researchable Item Source

Arcane

Necklaces and rings with the Arcane Trait drop randomly all over Tamriel

Healthy

Necklaces and rings with the Healthy Trait drop randomly all over Tamriel

Robust

Necklaces and rings with the Robust Trait drop randomly all over Tamriel

Protective

Infused

Necklaces and rings with the Infused Trait have a chance to drop from Psijic Portals, found all over Tamriel

Swift

Necklaces and rings with the Swift Trait have a rare chance to be awarded when completing normal Jewelry Crating Writs

Harmony

Necklaces and rings with the Harmony Trait have a chance to be awarded as part of the regular rewards for completing weekly Trial quests. Note that reward boxes from Trial quests completed before the release of ESO: Summerset do not contain jewelry with the Harmony Trait

Bloodthirsty

Necklaces and rings with the Bloodthirsty Trait have a chance to be awarded when you complete the new Cyrodiil daily board quests (note, not the repeatable quests)

Crafting Writs are repeatable daily quests (available every 20 hours) that require you to create specific goods appropriate to your skill level and deliver them to the individual who requested them.

Certification

To take on a writ, you’ll need to be certified in the related crafting skill—not just any apprentice can be entrusted with these missions. You can obtain a quest for certification from any Writ Board, which you’ll find in every major city, or you can go directly to the certification trainers yourself. Note that you’ll need to be at least level 6 to get started.

High Elf Felarian, located just outside the crafting section of Alinor in Summerset, can certify you to do Jewelry Crafting Writs.

Survey Reports

Occasionally, when completing a daily Jewelry Crafting Writ quest, you will obtain a Jewelry Crafting Survey Report. Unlike previous Survey Reports, these Reports are written, rather than drawn–but they still lead to a large cache of Rich Seams, chock-full of raw Dust.

Master Writs

Master Writs for Jewelry Crafting can occasionally be acquired by top-rank Jewelry Crafters by completing their daily Jewelry Crafting Writ quest. Much like Blacksmithing, Clothier, and Woodworking Master Writs, Jewelry Crafting Master Writs are tradeable until unsealed, allowing you to buy and sell them. When completed, they will give Master Writ Vouchers, used to purchase goods from Rolis Hlaalu, the Master Writ Mediator.
